Three parts in this kit:

1. Ground Stake Adapter
2. Antenna Mount (updated to v1.1, fixing slight error in the model)
3. Painter's pole adapter (replaces ground stake adapter to allow mounting to the top of a pole)

For the Ground stake adapter, print in PETG in the orientation shown.  I used organic supports on the inside surface of the mount and it worked great.  Allows use of the enclosure mounting bracket and use the screw that came with the solar light.

The Antenna mount will allow the antenna to be vertical with the solar panel at a roughly 22.5degree tilt for better sun exposure.  Print in PETG with the top surface (one with the SMA hole in it) on the print bed.  No supports required in this orientation.  You can glue it on or secure in place with screws as in the photos.  I used a 1/16" drill bit and 4- M2x6mm screws to attach the antenna bracket.  Drill a hole just big enough for the ipex connector to fit through, the seal it all up with silicone to keep it weather tight.

These are the initial parts, I'll keep iterating them as I build more nodes to refine the parts.  Will likely have future versions with adjustable antenna mount to allow you to adjust the solar panel at different angles.
